Yes I do have a Tattoo Studio in Cyprus but before everyone starts screaming, I'm not here to advertise this time.
I'm looking for stories and pictures about tattoo's that some of you might want to share for use in a TV programme thats being planned for next year.
Anything interesting or funny would be appreciated.....sarcastic and salacious comments are not required...Ive heard them all before.

I had my then girlfriends initials tattooed on my arm at the age of 16. Seemed sensible at the time. I have recently had it covered and it looks even worse. Moral of the story? Dont cheat on your girlfriend with your mates sister. And dont trust a tattoo artist with a hunchback.

i got what was supposed to be a winged serpent with a red sun in the background it was shit and the tattooist was a bit drunk.
I got so much shit for having a fruitbat on my chest what was worse a couple of month later a MEO joined the boat and his nickname was fruitbat.
the abuse increased 10 fold.

Had a Wafu on Albion in the 60s (one Dixie Dean) with so many tattoos, of those that I recall were:
a. a fox and hounds down his back to his backside,
b. hinges on his elbows,
c. a dotted line around his neck with 'Cut here',
d. a pair of hands coming from his navel with 'help' written above,
e. and also a row of footprints going to his navel, with (yep! you guessed it) ... 'Navel patrol',
f. and one other, a red GCB on his arm with 'try to take this' or words to that effect.

Also knew a Scribbler with eyes on his butt cheeks, in the 70s, think he had 'I'm watching you' - but he was more infamous for partaking in a live session in Sweden, after quite a few bevies and the full support of his messmates !!

Not a yarn. I watched him get them done by a tattooist at the funfare in Southsea in 1962. Pretty crazy I thought at the time. He also had the insides of his lips done. Love and hate I think.
I had eyes done on the bottoms of my feet in Copenhagen 62/63. They eventually wore off. Pity the others didn't
